Organic Spark: Ignition

 

The License Lab is not your usual corporate, standard, run-of-the-mill, production music superstore. And that’s precisely the way we designed it and like it. So while our catalog does not have everything for everyone, what we do have will surprise and delight your eardrums. This article is part of a series that takes a look at each of our meticulously curated labels to show you what they’re all about.

Major label approach to independent inspiration

 

Look around the production music circuit long enough and you’ll see marketing speak thrown around like “award winning composers” and “the best players” just about everywhere… it’s public relations glitter. And, just like glitter, it’s usually just for show, ends up in places you just can’t avoid, and is all too often overused (looking at you, bath bombs).

Well, there’s a time and a place for everything. And while we certainly could shower you with the seemingly endless accolades awarded to the musicians and songwriters who have composed and performed for our Organic Spark series, we simply couldn’t avoid at least mentioning it (this time).

We will say is that these composers and session musicians aren’t the ones who couldn't get a major label deal, trying to approximate hits by hoping to replicate the real hitmakers. They are the hitmakers, they are the players and writers you literally hear on your favorite records every day, crafting songs and laying down performances that you’ll remember years from now.

So we joined forces with them and now they also happen to make fantastic production music.

Organic Spark was designed to ignite and motivate, bringing a major label approach to the independent inspiration your project needs. Let’s light up this place.

Nothing quite sounds like New Orleans than the jubilant chaos and sweet sounds of traditional Dixieland. We’ve got the whole spread here; the bombastically jubilant brass, the easy swing of a lazy clarinet, and the steady twang of the banjo, all working together to infuse that special spice into the music. Solos aplenty and authentic takes that capture Dixieland in a way you don’t hear every day.

Sun-drenched beaches and tropical cocktails are calling your name. This album is full of modern takes on surf rock that include some of the common tropes of the genre, plus a few surprises including Reggae influences, sprinkles of ukulele, and romantic visions of a getaway from the mainland. But between the couples massages and moonlight, there’s a perpetual party going on at the beach.

Fast paced, energetic, and electronic soundtracks with instruments native to the diverse universe that is Asia. Hybrid beats keep things exciting for your journey to lands beyond. This mashup of styles creates a sense of enchantment in the 21st century. Exciting enough for a runway, thrilling enough for a midnight joyride, but with a touch of zen to keep everyone grounded.

For the spot that needs swelling strings, plucky pizacattos, driving piano arpeggios, Uplifting Strings is alive with movement and determination. There’s a promise of a better tomorrow for those who dare to hope and dream. True to the uplifting spirit of Organic Spark, this album motivates and ignites the imagination. So go ahead and chart a course, forward.
